Lemon bars are my favorite thing ever and I've been eating an incredible amount lately for some reason so I decided to make some and like most things I do halfway through I decide to do something different so instead of making them in a baking dish I put them in a cupcake pan but it works the same either wayCrust:
1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. room temp unsalted butter
pinch of salt
zest of 1/2 lemon
Filling:
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 tbs. flour
1/4 tbs. baking powder
4 tbs. lemon juice
zest of 1/2 lemon
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 325
mix the ingredients for the dough and and press it into a parchment lined baking dish or into the cups of a greased cupcake pan.
***if you do the cupcakes make sure to use a fork and poke some holes in the dough once it's pressed into the cups so they don't puff up and take over
Bake the dough at 300 for 10-15 mins. until dough begins to brown
meanwhile whisk together filling ingredients and once dough is brown pour it over or into the cups and continue baking 15-20 mins. until the filling is set. Let it cool completely before removing it.
Sift some powdered sugar on top and go nuts.
